Also worth noting is that the curse refers to thieves and those that swear
falsely on the Name of the LORD.
ìI will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter
into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that
sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of
his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the
stones thereof.î Zechariah 5:4
TBN is Christian television. Those that watch it are for the greater part
professing Christians. Yes, the lost do occasionally find TBN while channel
surfing, and some are genuinely touched with the message of salvation. This is
the same situation the Apostle Paul encountered in his day.
ìSome indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some
also of good will: The one preach Christ of contention, not
sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: But the other
of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or
in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and
will rejoice.î Philippians 1:15-18
But if Christians are the main group watching TBN, and Paul Crouch is right
that his television programs fulfill the prophecy in Zechariah, then why is it that a
curse goes into the home? Could it be because of the false and errant teachings
that come into the home carried by the TBN signal? Is the house of the thief TBN
itself; that has robbed the Body of Christ funds that could be used to support
missionaries in foreign lands? Monies that could supply faithful Christians what
they need to truly reach the lost, instead of buying gold leaf chairs and expensive
religious paraphernalia!
Paul Crouch and Rome
Following in the footsteps of Constantine, the goal of the Crouchís is to
become emperors of the worldís greatest religious telecommunications empire.
One of their missions also seems to be to make Catholicism as acceptable as
possible to anyone that professes the Name of Christ.
ìIíve met princes, kingís queens and presidents. But I only
wanted to meet one person ñ Mother Teresa. All I could do
was fall on my knees. Sheís a hero in my eyes.î 3
